The Ahuja ACM-96CH is engineered as a heavy-duty, single-zone desktop paging microphone designed for clear speech transmission and audio alerting across commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. Featuring an integrated multi-tone electronic chime, a 300 mm (12-inch) flexible gooseneck, and an aluminium die-cast top housing, this unit is deployed in high-traffic administrative, retail, and public address (PA) installations.
Shopping Malls, Superstores, and Commercial Showrooms
In retail complexes and expansive commercial showrooms, customer service personnel and floor managers require a reliable broadcast station for general customer announcements, staff paging, and emergency communications. The non-lockable CHIME switch on the ACM-96CH sounds a multi-tone pre-announcement alert to gain listener attention prior to spoken voice delivery. Powered by 2 × 1.5V (UM-3) pencil cells (they are not included), the internal chime circuit features an adjustable level preset located on the bottom base, allowing technical staff to balance the chime output volume against surrounding ambient retail noise levels.
Corporate Conference Rooms, Conference Halls, and Auditoriums
Meeting spaces, institutional conference rooms, and auditoriums rely on accurate vocal reproduction with minimal background interference. The ACM-96CH integrates a high-quality unidirectional dynamic cartridge with a frequency response of 50 to 10,000 Hz and a sensitivity of 2.0 mV/Pa. Its directional pickup pattern isolates the speaker's voice while attenuating acoustic reflections and room reverberation. Presenters benefit from the 300 mm (12-inch) adjustable gooseneck, which allows precise positioning at lecterns and control desks, while the high-reliability lockable ON/OFF switch with an integrated LED indicator gives clear visual confirmation of microphone status during sessions.
Worship Places and Community Centers
Houses of worship and assembly spaces require rugged, tamper-resistant desktop equipment capable of continuous operation during services and community announcements. The sturdy aluminium die-cast top provides mechanical stability on pulpits and audio desks. The 600-ohm balanced impedance matches standard public address amplifiers and mixer inputs, and the included 6-metre twin-core shielded low-noise cable with a 6.3 mm (1/4-inch) phone plug ensures hum-free signal transmission even in venues with extended cable pathways to the central amplifier rack.
Event Management and Dispatch Consoles
In temporary event control desks, staging hubs, and industrial dispatch stations, the ACM-96CH offers dependable plug-and-play operation for zone operators. The distinct separation between the lockable speech switch and the momentary chime switch prevents accidental broadcast cutoffs during mission-critical announcements.
